Few details survive for this view of the Stock Exchange in Hamburg, and the record gives no date. The title comes from notes the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards, so it has not been independently checked. Hamburg, a major Elbe River port, was one of Germany's leading centers of shipping and commerce, and its exchange was where merchants and brokers traded goods and securities. The Bain company, based in New York, sold news photographs from around the world, so pictures like this one reflect how overseas places reached American newspapers in the early twentieth century.
